I know you can currently go into info and view someone else's build and it will give you a list of their bonuses, but that's about it. Instead, why not have the build open up the enhancement management window so you can see exactly how the powers are slotted and what enhancements are being used?

Um..have you ever heard of crafting? Don't make your alts craft for themselves. Each character can grab the required salvage from the storage within the base, run to the crafting table and create that very recipe for your alt. Stash the IO in the base and your alt can pick it up when convenient.
So easy! You don't need to send recipes through email. Every day, you should craft the recipes you get. Don't have all the salvage? Check your stock. Still don't have it? Place a bid or wait until you do. Problem solved!
What you're saying makes sense, it's just that I don't want to craft every singe recipe I have all at once. I've stocked up on so many recipes due to getting 8 alts all to lvl 50 within 2 months. During that time, I wasn't concerned with crafting because I wasn't sure how I was going to build them out. I started using Pines hero builder, which helped me figure out what path I wanted to go with each one. Now I'm in the process of figuring out which recipes I need, which one's i don't, which ones I can sell, etc etc.

We have every other form of Storage in bases, so why not Recipes?
As to the Triggered poster who didn't want to give up any of his precious Base space for stored items: Now who's hoarding? You bit a guy's head off for a siple QoL suggestion while you sit in your (I'm pretty sure) solo SG base editing all day and HE'S the issue? Yeah...
Yes, I also remember Inf muling and all the headache it caused. Some of the ideas Emmert implemented made me think that he honestly hated the player base. Why make a basic feature so difficult?
Back when you needed Prestige to buy Base stuff having limits made much more sense. Now that we start out with unlimited Prestige, who cares? Design a Recipe rack with a limit of 100 just like all the others and limit it to 1 per base. Problem solved.
I had to create an excel spreadsheet this week that basically tells me where my recipes are stored (on my alts, or in my email). Since I already spec'd out all my alts with hero builder and know what IO's I need, I also added a page that tells me what recipes to sell outright, and which ones I should craft, convert, and resell (or keep). It was quite an undertaking, but recipe management has become a lot easier thanks to that. Maybe it was a 32bit limitation, but now that we're on 64bit, I don't see any reason why recipe storage can't be added.

Okay, switching to "Windowed" made the problem go away. Alas, that is a less than optimal way to play.
I wonder if this could somehow be related to DirectX 12. When WoW finally moved to support D12, they outraged many people by getting rid of "Full Screen" mode and forcing everyone to use "Windowed Full-Screen", on the grounds that D12 didn't, for some reason, support "Full Screen" games. I'm assuming that CoX doesn't "support" D12, seeing as how it didn't exist when the game was live.
That's really odd. It's obviously an isolated incident since I'm running Greenshot on multiple computers with multiple installs of CoH , all of which take the screenshots with no lag, nor have I got it switched to windowed. It even worked on an older laptop with no problems. It's a 15 year old game, I can't imagine it using up that many resources where it would impact a screen capture to that extent.
Did you try uninstalling/reinstalling Greenshot? Try using a different version?

Justin got another patch yesterday morning. Any chance you left Tequila open overnight and it needs to be restarted? Also go into Options and click Re-validate to see if it finds anything amiss.
Yes I did leave tequila open when I logged off. I'll give it a try later and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the reply 🙂

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I was on the beta server the other night before I started receiving these errors. . I saw that the files are trying to download into my hc-beta directory. I'm able to get into production with no problems. Is this a known issue with the beta server files?
-
I can't launch the game as of 8/17. First time seeing this error. Game has been running fine since May on this computer. I haven't moved, deleted, or modified any files. Please help.

Gah, this is starting to break my brain. I took a screenshot of my character hovering in the air in front of the Steel Canyon university, and the resulting image was the same character at the character select screen.
That's extremely bizarre. Only think I can think of is uninstall/reinstall Greenshot. I'm running version 1.2.10
-
So back to my original question - does it only do this while you're trying to capture CoH, or does it happen everywhere else?
-
Does it only happen when you play CoH? Greenshot should behave the same way regardless what's on your screen. and you want to make sure that it's running in the background (check your ^ arrow next to your date/time on the bottom right of your taskbar if you're using Windows 10). There's only 2 functions I use for Greenshot - Print Screen button (capture region), and Ctrl + Print Screen (capture full screen). When I execute any of those commands, the screenshot does not automatically save to my desired path shown in the Output tab. Instead, it brings up the capture in the image editor, which is managed in the settings options under the Destination tab > "Open in image editor" option. From the image editor, I then tell it where I want my screenshot to save. So far I've never had a timing issue, I save all my captures on my SSD, but regardless of that, I force it to pull up the editor first so that it can't just automatically save. This gives me better control.
-
Greenshot is great, I use it on all my PCs. There are only 3 tabs in the settings that I make modifications to. Try matching your settings to these and see if that helps you.

How do I do an outdoor area? I hit F3 which seems to enable clipping and tried removing one of the ceiling tiles. Is there something else I need to do to eliminate the ceiling so I can see sky only?

Although I could be wrong, but I believe the reason that there is no recipe storage is that the Invention system came after the base system was "finished". (ie: no more dev time given to it) The salvage bins were originally created for base salvage then updated to accept invention salvage. The enhancement tables were for TO/DO/SO/Hami-Os to be traded between SG mates.
1) More than likely not possible without a new base system. The current system is tied to the SG and its members.
2) There is a performance reason for this. Anywhere the /ah is accessible leads to the entire AH database being loaded into that map. So that means every open/public zone that you can use /ah has the database loaded into memory for that map/zone. If it got allowed into bases it would mean ALL base maps would also load the ah database adding more strain on the mission/map servers.
3) Email system still has usage outside of sending inf/recipes to your alts though. It can allow you to leave a message with someone when they are offline. Super packs also use the account item system which is built into the email system.(Incarnate system might also use it as well, if ParagonWiki is still correct) So removing the email system is impractical without building a replacement to handle the account item system.
Really good info, thanks for sharing!

For what it's worth, I read the prior posts you rebutted and thought the person you were responding to was condescending and rude...I thought your responses civil...Not sure why you are being called out as the snarky one, but I guess some people are quick to overreact...
Well I appreciate that. It was certainly not my intent to get on here to start throwing stones (or having stones thrown at me for that matter). Hell, I've been on plenty of discussion forums to know all about what the proper etiquette is for being accepting of those who do not agree with my viewpoints. This whole thing got started off as a suggestion, never once saying my way is the best way and your way sucks, or looking for points. So to anyone who acts like an ass, you're going to get called out.

If you wanna be snarky and come across as a jerk that's your choice, but it won't make people agree with you more.
Well I think there's better ways of offering someone suggestions. "You have a problem with hoarding" is a dick thing to say, maybe trying something like, "you might want to consider doing <this> instead." If you think I'm doing it because of some sort of popularity contest, then you stand to be corrected. It's how I react to those types of comments.
Aside from that, thank you for the info.

just sale everything on the ah and buy attuned set Es to you? Only lvl 50 purple recipes are worth crafting and storing.
I don't just sell everything. I sell what will not be used across all my toons, otherwise if one of my alts has recipes that another needs, why would I sell it? That makes no sense. And frankly, I don't get hard-ons for purples only. Yeah they're extremely beneficial, but there's other IO sets that are just as important.

Neither is cooldown timers and color coding player names, but they added it.

I might as well also create 2 dropbox accounts. For what?
3 hours ago, Bentley Berkeley said:Who has time for crafting blah!
Right, it's only one of the most popular elements of the game, just like farming, badge hunting, buying/selling... Who has time for that?
3 hours ago, Bentley Berkeley said:Why Should a base allow across the account storage?
Because it already was setup this way to allow salvage to be shared across the account.
3 hours ago, Bentley Berkeley said:Most of us do not keep all our toons in one SG.
You'd be surprised.

Sure. I use floppy disks to store all my data, so I can easily relate.
3 hours ago, Bentley Berkeley said:Frankly it sounds to me like you have a problem with hoarding and let stuff build up to the point it becomes difficult to manage
Depends on what your interpretation of hoarding is, but since you don't have any sufficient details that provide exactly how much inventory I have, I'm not sure how you were able to reach that conclusion.

TL:DR Instead of shuttling the recipes around, create them and store them either in a base enhancement table or your characters enhancement trays.
@Auranyte That's my whole point, the base has salvage storage and enhancement tables - why leave out recipes? That's one of the benefits of having a base, to store and share not just some stuff, but ALL your stuff. The only time I use enhancement tables is after I respec and need a place to dump leftover vanilla IOs that I end up either selling or slotting on my lower alts. I think 3 things need to happen:
1. Allow all items either bought or earned to be stored and shared across your account at the base. This should also include influence.
2. Allow the /ah command to work while in your base (why you can access the auction house from anywhere else in the game but your base makes absolutely no sense).
3. If steps 1 and 2 actually become a thing and players with no bases start finding out how good base management is, people will start building bases and stop using the email system, at which time email can be eliminated for good.

Dude, emailing stuff to an alt was something added WAY late on live. Like, final year of development late.
Hell, I joined the game right before i14 dropped and I remember being used as an inf-mule for a guy so he could transfer funds to an alt from his farmer because 'email to alt' simply didn't exist yet.
I remember that

Ok, so can we all agree that the storage management for in-game items is limited? Before when players were running only a few alts it was no big deal, but now everyone is running tons of alts, and the only known way to share recipes amongst your alts is by way of email. Plus it doesn't make sense why only salvage can be stored in your base but not recipes, not to mention you can't even run a /ah command to at least grab recipes out of the auction house while you're in your base - I tried and it's not allowed. Yeah, the game's 15 years old, I get that, but under no circumstances should anyone be emailing themselves anything. We're way past the days of Yahoo.

I thought you just used the /boost and /boostset commands to give yourself IOs. See this thread.
Excellent, thank you for that!
-
So I logged onto the Justin server for the first time the other night, created a test alt, leveled to 50, got tons of influence, and headed over to the auction house thinking there would be IOs aplenty. I started searching purples and was surprised how few (or in some cases none) there were. I'm not sure why that is, or if I wasn't doing something right. If leveling and influence is wide open, why then was the inventory at the AH limited? If you're going to test a build, wouldn't it make sense to have all IOs available as well?
-
So I started slotting Alpha > Musculature and I'm currently on T3 on right side. I just noticed that I'd like to build towards T4 left side, but I'm already building on right side. I see that both T4 powers require two T3s - one right side and one left side. I asked someone what I needed to do to switch sides, and was told that I'd have to restart at T1 and build a left side, then when I have both a right and left side T3, I can pick whatever side T4 I want. Question is, why do I need to start back at T1? Shouldn't the game already know that I had a T1 earlier on? So if the tree completely disregards that I had a T1 crafted at the very beginning, what assurance is there that if I swap over to left side, it's going to remember I had anything crafted on the right?
A better way to view another player's build

Seems to be the consensus. In all honesty, I really could care less if anyone could view my build or not. The CoH community has really been outstanding in terms of support and maturity, compared to most other gaming communities, which is why I never would have thought it would be such a big deal.
